I find it difficult to write today about much other than what has gone on in the school in Beslan today. The images are horrific and to think that soldiers have stormed a school and children have died or been injured is horrible. How could this happen?

What sort of person can hold a school of children as hostages? I guess they must be very desperate in their cause as the images must be having an even worse effect on them than on me. They know they hve been part of something that should never have happened.

Today parents have lost children, husbads and wives have lost spouses, many have ost friends. Families have been ripped apart.

Where is God in all of this? He must be totally heart broken.

Today, lets hold this little village community in our prayers.
